Instructions for measuring the blood pressure
In order to obtain comparable values, always measure the blood pressure under the same
conditions, i.e. in a relaxed atmosphere, not after the consumption of alcohol, not during a
meal and not after being exposed to physical or nervous stress.
If possible, make the measurement while being seated at a table.
How to put the SC 7600 into operation / changing the batteries
Put the supplied batteries in the compartment as
indicated on the back of the instrument. Use only alkali
batteries (LR6). Most low-price zinc-carbon batteries
(R6) cannot be used for more than 20 or 30
measurements. If the batteries are flat, an empty
battery will be displayed at the LC display above left:
(see Fig. 3). The battery needs urgent
replacement because you cannot use the monitor with
depleted batteries.
Caution: Do not dispose of depleted batteries with
the household waste. Also see disposal note.
Fig. 4
Alternatively to battery operation, the SC 7600 may also be operated with a special power
supply unit, which is also available from Customer Services. Use of a power supply unit not
approved by the manufacturer will destroy the blood pressure monitor

From many years of experience we know that most faults are the consequence of wrong
use. The most frequent causes of faults are excessive movement during the measurement,
